Is inline PCB router depaneling worth it?

For some factories, it clearly is. For others, it becomes an expensive upgrade that never fully pays back. The real value depends less on the machine itself and more on how your SMT line actually runs day to day. This article looks at inline PCB router depaneling from a production-floor perspective—what problems it really solves, where it struggles, and when the investment makes sense. 🧩 What “inline” really changes Inline PCB router depaneling connects directly to the SMT line. Panels move automatically from reflow or AOI into depaneling without manual loading.
